Integration helps dealers maintain and grow their online reputation

Albany, N.Y. – April 13, 2020 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems is announcing it has completed all dealership management system (DMS) integrations with Bluejay Reviews. With the online reputation of a dealership being important, the integration enables auto dealerships to monitor and improve their online reputation by automatically sending personalized emails and texts to every customer after they visit the dealership. It will ask customers to leave reviews, and sends them to popular review sites such as Google, Facebook, and Yelp to leave the reviews.  

“85% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations and 68% of consumers will leave a business review when asked, but not many dealers have a process to solicit reviews from their happy customers,” said Mike Esposito, president of Auto/Mate. “The Bluejay Review integration makes it easy for dealers to ask for reviews and manage the review process all from within the DMS.”

"We are excited to have our product directly integrated into Auto/Mate, and we understand that growing and maintaining a great online reputation is a key factor to success in the automotive industry. We look forward to helping Auto/Mate dealerships do just that," commented Paul Moody, Business Development Agent for Bluejay Reviews.

Bluejay Reviews automates the review management process, making it simple to respond to reviews quickly, promote great reviews and turn existing customers into a referral engine. Auto dealers can monitor and respond to reviews from all review sites in one easy to use dashboard and receive text and email alerts whenever a new review posts on any site. Additionally, Bluejay Reviews automatically posts positive reviews across social media pages and on websites, helping to increase SEO rankings.

Auto/Mate's integration program, Open/Mate, is based on open standards so that third-party vendors can easily integrate with the DMS. Auto/Mate's open integration program keeps integration costs low for vendors, saving auto dealers money while providing them with more vendor choices.
